Statement from the Society for Women in Philosophy (SWIP) UK regarding the Supreme Court ruling on the interpretation of the Equality Act, also on the website: www.swipuk.org #philsky

Dear members,

We write to you with the following statement, which has been published on our website:

The Society for Women In Philosophy UK (SWIP UK) condemns the recent Supreme Court ruling on 16 April 2025 determining that the term ‘woman’ in the Equality Act 2010 refers to a binary and biological notion of ‘sex’, and the subsequent interim guidance published by the EHRC on 25 April 2025. This ruling and the guidance undermine the human rights and safety of trans, non-binary, and intersex people and are also detrimental to cis women. Trans women are women, and belong in feminist organisations. There is no fight against sexism and misogyny separate from the fight against cissexism and transmisogyny.

SWIP UK membership, in line with our recognitions and aims, has for many years been open to trans women and to other trans and/or non-binary people who feel the category of ‘woman’ is relevant to their experiences, and this will not change under any circumstances. The legal landscape is currently very unclear and rapidly changing. We are in the process of finding out what concrete steps, if any, we need to take to ensure the continuation of our current approach to membership. We will involve members in this in accordance with our bylaws. We plan to respond to the EHRC consultation which closes at the end of May, and anyone who would like to support our efforts on this is invited to get in touch with us via our websites contact form.

Finally, we want to recognise what a difficult time this is, especially for those directly targeted by this ruling, and we send a message of solidarity and support to everyone affected.

The SWIP UK Executive Committee.

From this week’s @bmj.com, we learn that: “Drs are too often dismissive of women’s symptoms when they present for treatment for reproductive health conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, and heavy menstrual bleeding” Shoutout to @drrageshri.bsky.social. Link: www.bmj.com/content/387/...

Doctors are too often dismissive of women's symptoms when they present for reproductive health conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, and heavy menstrual bleeding, a parliamentary inquiry has found.
Some clinicians have an "ingrained belief" that women— particularly those from ethnic minority groups- exaggerate their symptoms, meaning conditions are left undiagnosed, said the inquiry by the Commons Women and Equalities Committee.
"Such medical misogyny and racism is unacceptable," the inquiry report said.
The MPs, who heard evidence from a range of witnesses, medical organisations, and charities, identified a "clear lack of awareness and understanding of women's reproductive health conditions" among GPs.
Committee chair Sarah Owen said,
"Women are finding their symptoms dismissed, are waiting years for life changing treatment, and in too many cases are being put through trauma inducing procedures.
All the while, their conditions worsen and become more complicated to treat.
